1 But Job answered and said,
2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest
thou the arm that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast
thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from
thee?
5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the
inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth
the earth upon nothing.
8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is
not rent under them.
9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his
cloud upon it.
10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and
night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his
reproof.
12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding
he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath
formed the crooked serpent.
14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is
heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
